My son-in-law had his car flooded in Appleton July 13th with the last big rain. Water up to his windshield.

Oil seepage to one person is different to another. I've driven some pretty leaky cars before. If there are no drops on the ground and you don't have to add oil, you're probably ok. If you're really particular about leaks and oil, well I'm sure anything can be fixed for the $$. Could get a second...

I drive older stuff, all of my vehicles (3) have over 200k miles on them and some leak more than others. I only get concerned if the leak get's out of hand. I got rid of a 2008 Impala, 235k miles that the leak just got bad enough I couldn't park it anywhere because of the drips and always had to...

I have a 2008 Yukon XL. Not sure they have anything for the door bottoms. I have been aggressively dealing with rust on my rig. I used a needle scaler on my frame and up under the rear by the spare. I swear I got 50# of loose rust off the truck. I coated all the areas with POR15. That stuff is...

I am at boat ramps every weekend in the summer. I would say, at least 25% of the time, there is some dink that has no idea of what he's doing. Also they tie up the ramps or prep their boat at the ramp before or after launch. That really sets me off... get the heck out of the way! Common...

I have been using an Ecoflow Delta Pro for the last couple years. I have it functioning as a UPS. Plugged into the grid but when power goes out, it stays on. I can run my freezers and fridge comfortably for 24 hours with no power otherwise it's just a pass through and makes no noise. I could...

We lost power early Thursday morning for about 12 hours out here in Hollandtown. My buddy in Lena is still without power for the last 36 hours.

LOL, all those maps show anywhere from 16-30" at my location. This is the one time, ever, I have not hoped for snow. I cant even get to my sled if I wanted it, put away for the season.

Told my wife that it's not over at least til the 3rd week of April and had no idea this was even a thing. I love snow but this is just an insult after the season we've had. The 15.1 is right over me. Ugh...

We took our last ride at the end of February from Calumet and it wasn't that nice. I had it in my mind that was the last ride. Kinda put the sleds away at that point. Great pics!

I always thought those flip down wheels on the skis would be kinda handy, especially in a year like this one.

Congrats on the Canadian cabin, sweet deal. Although my dream would be to live full time at a cabin of some sort after retirement, I just know my wife will never go for it. I have at best, 10 years to retire and my kids are just starting to have kids. It will be very difficult to convince my...

LOL, yeah. I spent so many weekends and days working on projedcts, during the week going up after work and going back to work the next day. Then the girls came up on the weekends and wondered why I was burned out, LOL.

Agree 150% on the maintenance free thing. When I had my log cabin, it was nothing but maintenance. I'm really considering some sort of barndo-minium type of building. All metal, no outside maintenance.

Although I didn't know John personally or your family, I did have a connection with him like most people that searched out his website. A love for snow and winter. I couldn't wait to look at the forecast graphic every morning as it came out. It's funny because I always used to tell people about...
